IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
■Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
■To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby surface units.
■Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.
■Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
■Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain
heat after the controls have been turned off.
■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
■If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or
as fats melt slowly.
■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry,
and rivets on clothing.
■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass
cooktop become broken.
■Never use the glass cooktop surface as a
cutting board.
■The surface units are automatically disabled
during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all
surface unit controls are turned off at all times
during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit
that is set to an on position, while the self-clean
cycle is operating, will automatically come on
after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could
result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait
until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and
use the surface units.
■Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used, or during the self-clean cycle.
■Be careful when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when
it is in use. They may become hot and could
cause burns.
■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any
surface unit areas until they have cooled and the
indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the
exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
■When the cooktop is cool, use only the
Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the Ceramic
Cooktop Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
■To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
■After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove all cleaning cream residue.
■Read and follow all instructions and warnings
on the cleaning cream labels.
■Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult
to remove.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR COOKING
UTENSILS, ETC. IN THE OVEN OR ON THE COOKTOP DURING
SELF-CLEANING MODE OF OPERATION.
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan, grid and other cookware.
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before starting the
self-cleaning operation.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■The surface units are automatically disabled during
the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit
controls are turned off at all times during the self-
clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on
position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will
automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is
finished, and could result in an on, unattended
surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished
to set and use the surface units.
■Gray porcelain-coated oven racks may be cleaned in
the oven during the self-clean cycle.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Place the oven rack in the desired position while the
oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do
not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience
in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against
burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or
oven walls.
■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored
in an oven can ignite.
■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
OVEN
■The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot
cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked
in the warming drawer.
■Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food
or combustible materials in the drawer.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near
your drawer.
■Do not warm food in the drawer for more than two
hours.
■Never place, use or self-clean the oven drawer pan in
the oven.
■Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface
of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough
to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be
hot when the drawer is opened.
■Use care when opening the drawer. Open the
drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower oven
drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance
of the drawer and it could damage the interior
finish.

About the Radiant Surface Units
WARNING: The surface
units are automatically disabled during
the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all
surface unit controls are turned off at all
times during the self-clean cycle. Any
surface unit that is set to an on position,
while the self-clean cycle is operating, will
automatically come on after the self-clean
cycle is finished, and could result in an
on, unattended surface unit. Wait until
the self-clean cycle is finished to set and
use the surface units.
The radiant cooktop features heating
units beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktop temperatures increase with
the number of surface units that are on.
With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface
temperatures are high. Always use
caution when touching the cooktop.
An indicator light will come on when
the surface unit is turned on.
The appropriate HOT surface indicator
light will glow when its corresponding
radiant element is turned on and will
remain on until the surface has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE:
Hot surface indicator light will:
■Come on when the surface unit is
turned on.
■Stay on even after the unit is turned off.
■Glow brightly until the unit has cooled
below 65.5°C (150°F).
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by
the heating of new parts and insulating materials
and will disappear in a short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass
cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to
change color when hot or cooling down. This is
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools
to room temperature.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the
oven or surface on the glass cooktop
when the surface is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned
off, the glass cooktop retains enough
heat to continue cooking. To avoid
overcooking, remove pans from the
surface units when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on the surface
unit until it has cooled completely.
■Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable
using the cleaning cream or full strength white
vinegar.
■Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent
film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will
remove this discoloration.
■Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.
If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause
damage.
■Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the rack supports
(A through F), they will stop before
coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the
rack support.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION: When you are using the
rack in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand
in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 6 rack positions.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.
The control will beep when the oven is preheated
and the display will show your set temperature.
This will take approximately 6–10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (1 to 11⁄2″) of air space
around it. If baking four cake layers at
the same time, place two layers on rack B
and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans
on the rack so one is not directly above
the other.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch
a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet
of foil on a lower rack several inches
below the food.
Never entirely cover a rack with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
Center baking pans in the oven.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired temperature.
Touch the START pad.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! www.GEAppliances.ca
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat
yourself.
Do not use thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 6–11 degrees C (20–40 degrees F).
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the BAKE and BROIL pads at
the same time for 3 seconds until
the display shows SF.
Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit
number shows in the display.
Touch BAKE again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 19°C (35ºF)
hotter or (-) 19°C (35ºF) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 12°C
(15ºF), touch 1and 5.
When you have made the
adjustment, touch the START pad to
go back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would normally.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).
If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

When Using the Warming Drawer
The warming drawer will keep hot,
cooked foods warm. Always start with hot
food. Do not use to heat cold food other
than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.
Do not line the warming drawer or pan
with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and could damage the interior finish.
Allow approximately 25 minutes for the
warming drawer to preheat.
■Do not put liquid or water in the
warming drawer.
■All foods placed in the warming drawer
should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil. When warming pastries
or breads, the cover should be vented
to allow moisture to escape.
■Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap will
melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a hot
utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is
not covered under your warranty.
■Remove serving spoons, etc., before
placing containers in warming drawer.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTE: If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be
left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub® . Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the
oven bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds
to another well-ventilated room.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
WARNING: The surface
units are automatically disabled during
the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all
surface unit controls are turned off at all
times during the self-clean cycle. Any
